Seriously, though, if you put your bourbon in the freezer for a couple hours, it goes down ultra smooth.... I learned to sip Kentucky whiskey like a gentleman. I never did care for Tennessee Whiskey (sour mash) that much. (I haven't drank in 17 years- not even a sip on New Year's Eve... I still make a pretty good bartender)
Put it in the freezer or shove it in a cooler of ice. The cold covers the harshness. The real test is what it taste like at room temp. Never cared for Jack Daniels. I've had some moonshine that was really good, and some that was really bad. It seems there is no inbetween with that stuff. It's either really good, or really bad. At least that has been my experience.
Don't drink alcohol anymore, but when I did I liked to settle back with a quart Mason jar of champipple...half champane and half Ripple. Or a gallon jug of Red Mountain. Sometimes I liked to roll with a big glass of Everclear. But the only times I ever drank was when I was alone or with somebody.
Some of you guys posted about your coffee. Well, normally, I drink coffee with 2 creams. Quit sugar over a year ago. If I get it from Starbucks, it's usually a caramel machiatto. When they're in season, I'll have a pumpkin spice latte, or an egg nog latte.
Yeah yeah, there's lots of sugar in the Starbucks that I drink. That doesn't count.
